Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
On August 8, 1942, Mahatma Gandhi began the Bharat Chhodo Andolan, or Quit India movement, with the motto "do or die." Lord Linlithgow, India's governor general, angered the Indian nationalists by pushing the country toward World War II without their approval. The British sent Sir Stafford Cripps to India in an effort to win India's assistance in the war, but it was a failure. There was widespread unhappiness due to the scarcity of essential commodities due to the war. Because of these reasons, Gandhi launched the Quit India Movement.
The correct statement would be that Mahatma Gandhi launched the Bharat Chhodo Andolan, or the Quit India movement, during the Second World War.
